do they even know?
20 August 2005 :: posted by TravisI’ve read about this on every single blog from kop’·Ä“·kăt’ to Brooklyn Vegan to Productshop NYC to Audio Nerd to everyone else. Seriously.
So unless you’ve been physically removed from a computer for the past 48 hours (like myself) and/or live under a rock…
Listen: “Do They Know It’s Hallowe’en?”
Press release:
BOO! This fall”™s sweetest ““ and scariest ““ benefit song is DO THEY KNOW IT”™S HALLOWE”™EN. This single features a star-studded ensemble known as the NORTH AMERICAN HALLOWEEN PREVENTION INITIATIVE. Both a trick and a treat, this song is a satire - as well as a charity-benefit song with all proceeds being donated to UNICEF.
An epic journey into the pulsating heart of fear, this song is a call-to-arms featuring:
Beck, Sum 41, The Arcade Fire, Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sloan, Peaches, Feist, Devendra Banhart, Wolf Parade, The Postal Service, Buck 65, Comedian David Cross, Sex PistolsӪ founder Malcolm McLaren, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, 60s soul legend Gino Washington, Psychedelic singer Roky Erickson, Los Angeles 70s group Sparks, Inuit throat singer, Tagaq (a frequent collaborator with Bj̦rk), AND MANY MORE!
I hope they make a video/documentary like “We Are The World” - that would be wonderful.
I love we are the world, it’s an amazing song.
